Sorry, but if a kid wants in front of me, I’m letting them in front of me. Don’t care how long I waited. The experience is far more magical for a young child than it should ever be for an adult.
Lose the nose ring– they’re ridiculous. Furthermore, you’re an adult… Glad you could afford a trip you wanted, but I’ve never understood those that are willing to block a child from seeing a parade. You lose nothing by allowing a little person a better view and a thrill they’ll never forget.
Profanity, the last refuge of the ignorant, the insensitive, and the inconsiderate. Let the kid stand in front of you, it’s just a parade for cripes sake!
No, I will not let someone’s child in front of me. I will not be responsible for them and when they cry for their parent then you have to let them take your spot or appear as a monster.This last minute tactic has been used for decades and I stopped falling for it years ago.
They all spend the SAME money to get in the park. Perhaps if the parent wasn’t so aggressive about her “request”, the Tik Toker might have obliged. But, no. She basically TOLD her she has to let her kid stand in front of a complete stranger to watch a parade that the parent didn’t plan ahead for. I am with the Tik Toker on this one. Parents play the kid card far too often, EXPECTING their demands are met, no matter the circumstances. What does that teach their kids? Bully someone and you get what you want? No wonder kids are entitled brats, they learn it from their entitled parents.
Heck no! The parents should get there earlier if they value a better view. It happens all the time. Once I let a kid in front of me and they spilled their ice cream cone all over my pants. Not even a sorry from that family. So entitled, these last minute crowder are. And these parents are teaching their entitled rudness to those kids so we have more entitled behavior in the future. Everyone should respect everyone else’s time and space. We don’t know other people’s circumstances either. It might be the adult’s first (or last) time there and whoever is first obviously valued that event more and deserves to enjoy it without rude entitled behavior.
I agree that if the parent feels it’s important enough for their child to be up front and enjoy the event then plan on getting to your destination in a timely manner. I have a special needs daughter that often times is run over by these insane parents who feel that they should be first and we need to excuse their rudeness. Get to your destination early and enjoy the event. Don’t deprive Someone else of their joy in watching an event cause you feel you’re entitled to be up front. This world needs to change cause there certainly too much anger and unrest in the way people act today
This practice is as bad as the parents who hoist their kids on their shoulders during the fireworks and block everyone’s view. It’s happened to me everytime I’ve gone. As far as the nose ring…Moo!
I had this exact situation happen to me.
I was at DLP with my wife and and son (12yo).
We had waited at least an hour, I was standing infront of a lamp post, with wife and son each side of me. We were at the front, our toes touching the kerbs.
Just as the show arrived at where we were I got a rather forceful push to my back, causing me to turn around.
There was a woman, who was pushing her kids past me, into my spot and telling me that her kids cannot see and that the parade is for kids.
I just pushed my way out of the crowd and waited for my family to join me again.
My wife tried to tell me that I should have just let those kids infront of me, but as others have mentioned in these comments, I was not about to take responsibility for someone else’s kids and I did not want to be standing alone in a crowd.
I was there to have a magical moment with my family and that’s all I wanted, but, unfortunately this woman decided that her kids were more important than me and my family & our experience.
It may sound petty, but it really hurt and ruined my experience. (And say what you want, even with my 33 years, I still want to wave at Mickey and enjoy the floats! 😂)
